Deciding which dimension to work in is a tough choice. To start things off, Jama will walk you through the advantages and disadvantages of using 2D vs. 3D, and the power of combining them together. We will then do a tour of 3D-Coat, including the tools and workflow Jama uses to create concept sketches.
Homework
Assignment
1. Starting from silhouttes, create a futuristic cityscape. Try using different shapes from study to build a nice variety creating your own unique shapes.
Hey Calina! looks cool! By the way noticed your background is the default. Not sure if you like it that way or not but you can switch it to a solid color in the preferences ( Edit> Preferences> viewport tab). personally I think its easier to see your forms. :D
The 1st lesson is amazing. I didn't know about the 3D Coat Stencil and Keyshot patterns until now. Btw, if it possible can Jama give us some small exercises to work on after the first few chapter? So we can be more familiar with this program. Cause for someone that's new to 3D Coat, there is so much information and knowledge to learn at the same time, and it's intimidating. I think some small exercise after chapter Sphere Tool and Stencils will help a lot. :D
A small test with 3D Coat Stencils and Keyshot Patterning. Will try to work on building silhouette and add some more specific building tomorrow.
I'm still trying to figure out some good materials for these buildings, if you guys have any suggestion that will be great. :D
Super Cool !!!!!
I hope you can talk in the full length demo video in the future lectures ! It will be more awesomeeeeeeeee !
Because there are something that i don't know how can you do that like "Rectangle sidelong cutting" or change topview and side view quickly,...
not sure if this is what you're talking about but see the attached picture regarding the "Rectangle sidelong Cutting."
Regarding the sideview/ topview quick change, just hold shift while rotating and it will snap to the closest view (top, bottom, side). Also be sure to check if you are in isometric or perspective mode because the cutting actions will definitely have different results if you are in perspective mode. Hope this helps!

Hello everybody! I'm so excited about this course! I can't wait to end my job today and watch the first lesson :)
It looks very very promising. :)

Testing out keyshot patterns (With my crappy city. Looks too uniform with that one building...)

Just trying to be more creative with what Jama taught. Very experimental so I'm not too sure if these will be used in my final shots :)

Hey man:)
You did an amazing job.
Very good results for first time.
There will be a lot of assignments in next chapters... you will get a chance to practice all of tools in 3d-coat.
But thanks for your advice,
i`ll try to make small exercises as well!

Thanks Adam Ybarra for sharing the isometric mode tip. I couldn't figure out why my shapes were all wonky.
Jama Jurabaev 7 years ago instructor
Hey Tam,
don`t worry, there is a lot more coming...
i`ll cover most of the things in 3dcoat
Tam Nguyen 7 years ago
Wow - i fixed it, so Did jama use Isometric mode during all video ?
Thanks a lot Adam !
Adam Ybarra 7 years ago
Hey Tam,
Hope this helps with your other question about not getting a 90 degree box....
Tam Nguyen 7 years ago
Wow that's cool, i found that i can make sidelong cutting depend on my camera angle, and holding shift is really cool, thanks for that Adam !
